What point is he trying to make?
Hyman recently scored 50 goals so people have been writing articles which typically hockey as well as sports would writes articles around with a tone of being an underdog because he’s unlikely guy to do so.
Hyman’s family/dad is really rich & bought a team for Hyman to play for at the youth levels. So it struck a nerve with this guy that they’re writing articles about him in this tone because of his upbringing.
There’s a valid general point that hockey is too expensive & should be more accessible to everybody but you don’t have to tear down Hyman to make that point. He’s not the only rich player to play in the NHL. The reality is on the lower end of things hockey players probably come from the middle class opposed to the poor the poverty levels. So there’s a lot of kids that grew up rich in the sport & a lot who haven’t achieved what Hyman has.
In regards to Hyman’s path in hockey at the higher levels where this stuff generally gets leveled out & the cream generally rises to the top. Hyman was a fifth round pick in 2010 by Florida. He went to Michigan & didn’t do anything of note his first three years there before exploding his last year as a senior & very likely earning an NHL contract he likely was going to get before that season. He signed with Toronto as a free agent played in the AHL did well there. He got called up to the NHL did well & ultimately stuck since then where he’s played on lines primarily with arguably the two best players in the league in Auston Matthews & now Connor McDavid.
I'm very good at just rolling my eyes and scrolling past most of the dreck. I did get quite close to pulling the trigger with GB at one point though.
